What were/are your thoughts on Red Dead Redemption?

I'm getting through it. The bandit shooting and shooting gameplay mechanic is awesome!! ! I spoiled the ending for myself but IMO bad endings make me enjoy a book or game that much more when I get to the end I still feel a WOW THAT HAPPEN perspective.

Big fun. Top five, definitely. I played through the story once on a borrowed copy, then went out and bought my own after the price dropped in order to finish the challenges and meet all the strangers, which I hardly ever do with games.

I heard all the hupla and 2 million in 2 months isn't too shabby and GOTY awards and such. Black Friday it was down to $30 so I snatched it up. I quite part way through but am getting back into it. It's a blast!! !! (I'd be playing it right now if I didn't have to leave soon or do house chores LOL!)

Most outrageous, hysterical glitches I have ever seen in a game. Ever. If you haven't seen the flying townsfolk, youtube it.

Red Dead was at it's best when it wasn't trying to get you to follow the narrow story, those times when I could just ride in one direction and see what was out there were always the best, the worst times were the generic bandit shootouts without an ounce of intelligence to them.

I like it very much, I couldn't put it down when I first got it.

Found it to be over-rated in my opinion.

Likewise. Still enjoyable, though!!

I never completed it, though, it started to remind me too much of someone I'd rather forget.

Ridiculously deep and entertaining game. I never thought I would say that a game has way too much to do in it, but that was before the many days I spent playing RDR. It felt just like playing a Clint Eastwood western.

I loved it! It is now on my first tier of favorite games, along with Mass Effect series, Dragon Age series, Elder Scrolls series, Fable series, Fallout series (and probably one or two other games on that tier I can't think of right now). First tier games are A games for me, while second tier are B games, and so on. And I checked out Youtube, and those bloopers and glitches are so hilarious!

I could not get into it. For me, it was too structured and I got bored. I guess Open ended RockStar Games just got old for me.

Is it just me or was the professor character in blackwater a REALY BIG DOUCHEBAG. I really hated him. I mean how arrogant could you get? He was an incompetant scientist, a crack addict, and an idiot, but he was SOOOOO sure that

A: he had found scientific proof that indians were infereior to white people.

B: Extinction is a myth and we can shoot all the dam buffalo we want

Alsio I REAAAALLLY Hated that mission were we had to help the charlatan Nigel W Dickens sell his Bullcrap tonic.

and it is for this reason along with the ending, that I can barely stand the sight of this game, despite the superb gameplay and combat

I enjoyed playing through RDR, but I think it's a very overrated game. I've seen people say it has some of the best graphics ever which isn't true at all in my opinion.

Loved it, great game. SP and MP, both awesome.

I seriously think this could be the MW2 of TPS MP titles, in terms of how popular and fun the online MP was. I had an absolute blast playing every time I picked up the controller, even though the SP ending kinda sucked and you couldn't do anything about it.

I recently started playing this game again. For the most part, I think it's a very good game, but there are two problems that are pretty annoying for me. The first is that nearly every bandit ambush seems to have an innocent and/or lawman mixed in, so self-defense often means getting a bounty and losing honor. The second problem is that if you murder someone in any town, there will be a witness. It doesn't matter if you kill a person silently in a closed off room with no windows and the nearest person is on the other side of town; they'll notice and report you immediately.

So far I've only encountered one glitch: I was on a mission to save a man from being lynched, but only the lynch mob was there. The victim was completely absent so I failed because he died.



I just found him funny. It seems he was meant to be the comic relief. Also, it's technically just cocaine. The method for turning it into crack wasn't discovered until about 60 years after the events of the game. And I hope I'm not spoiling anything, but if you get the Undead Nightmare DLC he returns as a minor character and immediately gets killed by zombie Nastas. And then you get to kill him yourself, because he's a zombie.
